Kenya Cinema, Mombasa stopped operating as a cinema on Sunday May 23rd 2010

 The last film to play at the Kenya Cinema, Mombasa was 'Prince' with Vivek Oberoi, Aruna Shields, Nandana Sen, and Neeru Singh. and Indian film with English subtitles.

By this time Indian films were just shown on Friday, Saturday and Sundays.
This film opened in India on Apr 9th 2010 and was a box office flop!
The reasons for the cinema closing appears to be the continued decline in film attendance, the success of Nyali Cinemax, the upcoming move from celluloid 35mm to digital in Kenya the following year and the exit of Raman Samji Kala!
After this Kenya Cinema was rented to a Church
